Hiashi Hyuuga, Hanabi Hyuuga... Almost every Hyuuga except Neji and Kou (a branch house member whose name is only mentioned once).

Bleach: Kubo chooses names and language themes based on how words sound to him so this crops up a few times. Examples include Ouetsu Nimaiya's Sword Five girls, Aaroniero Arruerie, Bambietta Basterbine, Candice Catnipp, NaNaNa Najahkoop, and Giselle Gewelle (both names start with a soft-g to produce a "jheh" sound despite the "gi" and "gi" spelling). Averted with Loyd Lloyd, as the spelling variation changes both the letter and sound.

B Gata H Kei represents with Mayu Miyano, Kazuki Kosuda, Mami Misato, Kyouka Kanejou, and Keiichi Kanejou. One can only imagine that series protagonist Yamada, while suffering from a case of "No First Name Given", would follow this theme as well.

In the dub of Digimon Adventure, Izzy Izumi. Also Kari Kamiya and T.K. Takaishi. And T.K.'s given name in the original Japanese is Takeru.

Shiro Sanada in Space Battleship Yamato. Called Sandor in StarBlazers, in expanded universe material, he was eventually given the first name Stephen making both names alliterative.

Solty Rei gives us the two main adult characters, Roy Revant and Miranda Maverick.

High School DXD gives us Asia Argento, The Medic of the group. Bonus points for her because her seiyuu, Azumi Asakura, also has the same initials.
